About this home
Why wait on new construction when this one's already done? This home was taken all the way down to the foundation and completely rebuilt and expanded — outside of one corner of the home everything here is new. Home inspection is complete, every item addressed, so you can move in with genuine peace of mind. Tucked away on a quiet country road in Chesapeake and surrounded by 3 peaceful acres of mature trees, this modern farmhouse ranch offers the privacy and charm buyers dream about. Huge wraparound-feel porches front and back give you outdoor living space to spare, and the wide-open yard makes this property feel like a true retreat. Inside, gorgeous LVP flooring flows throughout, while the spacious living area with a stunning brick fireplace creates a warm gathering space. The farmhouse-inspired kitchen features white cabinetry, an oversized island with bar seating, and ample storage. Bedrooms are thoughtfully spaced for added privacy, while the hall bath offers a double vanity, step-in shower, and beautiful natural light. The primary suite feels like its own getaway, with private porch access, dual closets, and a spa-style bath featuring a floor-to-ceiling marble-tiled shower. A detached storage shed conveys, and the sprawling backyard offers endless possibilities — gardening, entertaining, or future additions. All the character of country living, with the peace of mind of a brand new home. Welcome home.
Pleasant Grove, located between Great Bridge and the North Carolina line, is a rural and residential Chesapeake neighborhood with working farmland and pine-wooded backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Battlefield Blvd S and Pleasant Grove Rd crossroads, where feed stores, roadside produce stands, and small service shops set a practical, country cadence. Homes tend toward ranchers and newer builds on larger lots, with long driveways and wide skies. Two-lane roads and drainage canals trace the landscape, and evenings read quieter than the commercial corridors to the north. Outdoor time centers on nearby waterways and open fields rather than sidewalks.

INVESTOR ALERT! Wonderful opportunity to own a 3 acre farmhouse in the Grassfield school district. Current home sits considerably off the road and the surrounding acreage is beautiful. Sold "as is" but the home/land has incredible potential. Beautiful, serene, country living but still convenient to shopping, dining and major roads.
